<p><i>”I have led a charmed life. I know that, and I am grateful every day.”</i>— Clary Croft </p>
<p>Folklorist, recording artist, actor, songwriter, broadcaster, storyteller, author, archivist, artisan, and designer: over a career spanning more than fifty years, Clary Croft has woven the threads of his vast array of talents into a tapestry that has enveloped the life of an artist, and in the process he’s become a household name in Nova Scotia and beyond. </p>
<p>With charming humility and cheeky humour, Clary shares memories and anecdotes of an eclectic career including his work with The Privateers, Sherbrooke Village, <i>Singalong Jubilee</i>, Neptune Theatre, <i>CBC Mainstreet</i> and, perhaps most importantly, his collaboration with eminent folklorist Helen Creighton. </p>
<p>Featuring a foreword by writer, broadcaster, and former co-host of CBC’s <i>Singalong Jubilee</i> Jim Bennet, and with dozens of images in both colour and black and white, <i>Clary Croft: My Charmed Life in Music, Art, and Folklore</i> is an inspiring and entertaining chronicle of a creative life well lived.</p>
